DID I MENTION I LIKE TO DANCE. LEMME SMANG IT. SEX SYRUP. (some language nsfw; Voice Q&A with Flynt Flossy)
So this is a complex meta-conceptual performance art piece, yes?
Please say yes.

Not too many views, for having been uploaded in 1988

I've said it before, and I'll say it again; if naming teddy bears 'Mohammed' is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
Also, I'm too old to understand the humor in this link. Fuck it.

Bookhouse: I need a word that means both "awesome" and "awful."
Can't think of anything that means both awful and awesome, but I found Merriam-Webster's definition of fulsome:
...
2: aesthetically, morally, or generally offensive...
3: exceeding the bounds of good taste: overdone

This is good shit, although the "Sex Syrup" song clued me into the fact that they know it's cheesy and they like it, a la Tim and Eric. Now, this guy, I'm not so sure.

I can state that dancing to "Did I Mention I Like To Dance" is a certifiable aerobic workout (and more fun than most exercise videos.)

awesome+awful+marvelous= Gormellous.
[On preview: fungible beat me to it].

Yeah, I think these guys definitely emerged from beneath Tim and Eric's overcoat, as it were. I personally can't stand this kind of humor, but it's pretty well-executed.

Can we conjugate 'smang' now?
I smang.
She also smangs.
In fact, we smanged together.
We had not yet smung in March.
Those two, also, are currently smanging.

Those were great and my favorite part, for some reason I cannot discern, was the out-of-the-blue color changes near the end of Lemme Smang It.

Just to follow up on the Charlie Murphy reference, the "Did I mention I like to dance?" song is a pretty blatant ripof---homage to "Wacky D" (who was himself a mashup of MC Hammer and C&C Music Factory) from the movie CB-4
Still enjoyed 'em all.

So you want a word that's a smang of those two.

This reminds me of watching Jamaican music videos on cable access when I lived in Queens. But I liked that better.

Guys, GUYS. Can we please discuss how this label also seems to have spent the entirety of the 90s funding an illegal cloning project using a strand of Jon B's luscious R&B beard, and finally saying "fuck it" after one too many failures before deciding to release Test Subject 8993, aka Slick Mahony?

I thought this was just an ILX joke. (Lemme Smang It placed well on their year-end poll).

Bookhouse, I believe the word you're looking for is "awfulsome". (Credit: Tom Scharpling)

You know what I hate? When mountain climbers take a helicopter to the summit of Everest first, then climb the damn mountain. Doesn't that ruin the trip?

I love the bit in "Fried or Fertilized?" where Yung Humma explains the innuendo. Though my favorite moment so far in Turquoise Jeep videos is about a minute into Go Grab My Belt.

I found these a while ago and while most of them are funny I think Sex Syrup is a legitimately good pop song. I listen to it all the time!

"Fried or Fertilized" is the hit. Yung Humma pwns iambic trimeter.

Really, I can't get over a lyric involving "cooch contusion". It cracks me up every time. I've already listened to this stuff waaaay too much.

So romantic, yet so threatening. If Yung Humma wants to smang you, you'd better just let him.

This may be so, but i'm going to stick to my first impression which was that Eddie Murphy has both fallen on hard times and really wants us to know he likes dancing. Also, purple jumpsuits.
